This is an outdoor walking or driving scavenger hunt suitable for any area with shops and businesses (including malls). *This scavenger hunt will work in both large and small communities. You may need to do a bit of editing for very small towns but it's easy to do.
A note about doing this hunt in a mall: Some folks have told us that their local mall considered the scavenger hunt an "event" and it was therefore prohibited; others have told us that picture taking is not allowed. To be on the safe side, check with the mall before showing up to do this hunt.
EXAMPLES: Our Town hunt includes 20 pictures challenges (they'll make GREAT memories of the day), find items (15), a fun and creative project and a final team presentation (optional). Lots of different types of challenges to complete to keep it interesting, engaging and fun, fun, fun!
1.
Collect an unusual, clever or creative item. Bonus points to the team that brings back the most unusual item.
2. Have your most artistic team member collaborate with someone you've
never met to draw a picture. Take a picture them in action.
3. Take a picture of 3 of your team members with a construction worker.
You must be in the classic Village People "YMCA" pose.

Susan, Operation Our Town scavenger hunt was a HUGE success at my family reunion!! We ALL - everyone - had a great time. The interaction was exactly what was needed. You learn a lot about people through such activities. I can't wait to try another one of your hunts. By the way I liked to read what others thought about the product before buying and I love that you communicate with your audience - it adds such a personal touch! Wonderful! Sincerely, Andrea Johnson, Baltimore, MD

Our nature
scavenger hunt was A COMPLETE SUCCESS! I am the Activities Director
for a 271 site Campground in South Central Pennsylvania. I
thought perhaps I would have about 5 teams....ended up with 25! (luckily
I was prepared for 30)! Anyway, people are still absolutely raving
about what a blast they had and they can't wait for next years'! Your
package was superb! Kudos! Thanks Again! Heather

You'll need about 2 hours minimum for this hunt . Your group will be divided into teams of up to 10 people. Each team will receive a collection bag containing a digital camera, their challenge sheet - the hunt itself - and various supplies. They will then embark on the scavenger hunt, taking pictures, obtaining specific items and completing a creative project all worth valuable points. At the conclusion of the hunt, the teams will do a final presentation or you can “grade” their clue sheets to find the winners based on point total.
THE WINNING TEAM will have had the most fun as a team while collecting the most points
NUMBER OF TEAMS or PARTICIPANTS: Unlimited. We recommend a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 10 per team. You can do this hunt with as few as 2 teams to as many as you can handle.
LENGTH OF THE HUNT: 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of your group*: 5 minutes for opening instructions and team organization; a minimum of 1 1/2 hours for the scavenger hunt and about 1/2 hour or more for the grading, (optional) team presentations and awards presentation. *The more teams you have, the more time it will take.
PRE-HUNT PREP TIME: For up to 6 teams, you can put our scavenger hunts together in about 4-6 hours (includes shopping for supplies, reading the scavenger hunt and prepping the materials); as you add teams, you'll need to add time to the pre-hunt prep. You mostly need to print (and perhaps edit) the documents included with the kit, pack the collection bags and you'll need to get team prizes, digital cameras and other inexpensive supplies like clipboards and pens. Our facilitator guide provides a supply checklist for you.

Susan, what a GREAT experience. I have long been a fan of scavenger hunts (since my teenager years) but haven't done one in so long. Our son's 16th birthday was on New Year's Eve and he wanted a party. These days it is so hard to entertain teenagers -- and to keep them out of trouble at the same time. Also, with so much hoopla around birthday parties it's hard to come up with something original that doesn't involve hiring someone or renting out a party facility. Your product saved my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had planned to do a scavenger hunt but waited until 3 days before his party to pull it all together. So just 48 hours before 16 sixteen year olds were to show up at my house, I was in a panic. Until, of course, I found you on the Internet. Your Our Town hunt was perfect. It was easy to modify, thorough in every aspect, and was the only reason our son's 16th birthday party was a success. The kids loved it -- and declared that we should have an annual scavenger hunt for Mack's birthday. Thank you so much == and kudos to you for offering such a creative service, a quality product, and great service. Best wishes in your business. I'm spreading the word all over Atlanta! And I'll stand by my word: I got more than my money's worth! Karen Sherman, Atlanta, GA. MORE TESTIMONIALS.
